Strategic tips for GATE preparation
Step 1: Have complete information about GATE

2020/2021
GATE is an online examination of three hours. It consists of 65 Questions (Out of which 35

Questions are of 2 Marks and 30 Questions are of 1 Mark). So, exam is for a total of 100
Marks.
The question paper consists of two types of Question:
1. Multiple Choice Questions (In this, 4 options are given, and you have to choose one).
2. Numerical Answer Type Questions
There will be 2/3rd negative marking in 2 marks Questions and 1/3rd negative marking in 1
Mark Questions (Applicable only for MCQ’s) whereas there is no negative marking in
Numerical Answer Type Questions.
Step 2: Know the syllabus and weightage of each

subject
Go through the complete syllabus at least once before starting your preparation.
Match your knowledge with GATE 2020/2021 syllabus and plan your preparation with
known subjects.
Highlight the important topics in the syllabus based on previous year GATE Papers and
focus more on these topics during the course of your preparation.

Step 3: Choose good books and study materials

for GATE preparation
Selection of appropriate and concise study material is very important before starting
preparing for the GATE.
Read at least one book apart from the study material which is provided by your institution
and your class notes.
Nowadays the whole package is available online in the form of video lectures, course
materials PDF, so you can pursue the best study material.
You can also refer to the books that you have followed during the undergraduate course.
Step 4: Tips to study smartly during

preparation
Analyze the important topics and pattern of questions from previous year question papers.
After studying a subject, practice previous year questions for that particular subject which
will help you to analyze your preparation and also boost your confidence.
Prepare each topic in three steps:
1. Understand the concept.
2. Practice related questions.
3. Revise regularly.
Most of the questions in GATE are conceptual & numerical, so you must try to improve your
solving ability & time management to score a good rank.

Step 5: Plan your GATE preparation
To crack GATE 2020, prepare a plan for 3 to 9 months.

The plan should include Completion, of course, Practice and Mock Tests, Revision.
It is a good idea to make a time table and formulate your daily tasks. Once you have set
daily, weekly and monthly targets, you will see better results from the same amount of
effort.
Step 6: Prepare the study plan to complete the

GATE syllabus
The first step in the preparation is to start with an easy subject and an important one.
Topper’s suggestion is to begin with mathematics and one basic technical subject.
Segregate the whole subject into smaller topics and prepare topic-wise.
After completing a subject, make short notes for that subject which should include
definitions, important formulae etc. This will help you at the time of revision.
Practice previous year GATE questions after completing each subject.
Clear all your doubts during your preparation.
Identify the weak areas while practicing quizzes/tests and try to revise and practice those
topics.
Step 7: GATE revision plan
It is not just sufficient enough to prepare revision notes, but also to revise them regularly.
Read the revision notes on a weekly basis to recall the concepts of prepared subjects.
Each time you revise the same topic, your revision time will reduce to recall the concepts.

Step 8: Mock tests and practice tests
You can practice the mock tests in two ways. One is self-practice on a daily basis, and other
is attempting online mock tests.
Practice the mock tests to improve performance. Performance depends on how much time
devoted to answering each question and how many questions are answered correctly.
Step 9: Revision, test series and practice at the

last stage
Last 30 days should be allocated to revision and giving practice tests.

Practice more tests, identify the weaker topics in each test and revise them.
Join all India test series so that you can analyze your level before the actual exam and with
the help of it you can work on your weak areas.
Practice at least 2 tests every day in the month of January.
Step 10: Last-minute strategy for GATE 2020
You are advised not to read any new topic during the last days.
Focus on revising the concepts and important questions which you have marked during your
preparation.
Keep your mind relaxed and take proper sleep before the exam. This will help you in
recollecting things during exam hours.
Be ready with your examination admit card and know your center before the exam day.

Planning your GATE preparation

When preparing for GATE, you have to make the most of every hour you spend studying.
Therefore, to do this, make sure that you begin by listing the different concepts from each section
and also the average amount of marks allotted to them. Following this - start by studying those
parts or concepts which have the highest amount of marks allotted to them.
This way, you will be thorough or familiar with the most scoring topics and that will boost your
overall confidence. When in doubt, follow this table given below to help you determine whether
you should prepare a particular concept or not.
Weightage in terms of marks Difficulty
Difficult Medium/Easy
High weightage Study Study
Low weightage Skip Study/practice
Your task is to know exactly what you’ll be doing when you sit for your GATE Preparation. Don’t
sit and decide what to do once you start studying as that is a complete waste of your valuable time
at this moment.
